Every Friday, we leaf through the newspapers of another era together. Today we “travel” back to 1980, holding in our hands a copy of the newspaper “Apogevmatini”. And what do we find there?
– The “killer pill” threatening lives due to pharmaceutical industry errors
– Thessaloniki’s drinking water found to contain arsenic, alarming residents
– A woman who lit a cigarette in a courtroom and went from spectator to defendant
– A man slashing car tires out of romantic rejection
– The Interior Communist Party (KKE Esoterikou) declaring dictator Ioannis Metaxas “a good leader”
– 350 blind citizens marching to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to demand state support
– Women fighting for equal rights, still a hot issue of the time
– Ronald Reagan preparing to assume the U.S. presidency, with his former colleagues calling him “untalented”
– The ongoing transfer saga of Nikos Anastopoulos from Panionios to Olympiacos
